A unified theory of cataclysmic variables from self-consistent numerical simulations
Yael Hillman, Michael M. Shara, Dina Prialnik +1
The hydrogen-rich envelopes accreted by white dwarf stars from their red dwarf companions lead to thermonuclear runaways observed as classical nova eruptions peaking at up to 1 Mil…
The Masses and Accretion Rates of White Dwarfs in Classical and Recurrent Novae
Michael M. Shara, Dina Prialnik, Yael Hillman +1
Models have long predicted that the frequency-averaged masses of white dwarfs in Galactic classical novae are twice as large as those of field white dwarfs. Only a handful of dynam…
An Extensive Grid of Models Producing Extreme Horizontal Branch Stars
Ofer Yaron, Dina Prialnik, Attay Kovetz +1
Horizontal branch (HB) morphology is a complex multiple-parameter problem. Besides the metallicity, two other leading parameters are the mass loss rate (MLR) and the initial He abu…
A Hubble Space Telescope Survey for Novae in M87. II. Snuffing out the Maximum Magnitude - Rate of Decline Relation for Novae as a Non-Standard Candle, and a Prediction of the Existence of Ultrafast Novae
Michael M. Shara, Trisha Doyle, Tod R. Lauer +9
The extensive grid of numerical simulations of nova eruptions of Yaron et al.(2005) first predicted that some classical novae might deviate significantly from the Maximum Magnitude…
A Hubble Space Telescope survey for novae in M87. III. Are novae good standard candles 15 days after maximum brightness?
Michael M. Shara, Trisha F. Doyle, Ashley Pagnotta +13
Ten weeks of daily imaging of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has yielded 41 nova light curves of unprecedented quality for extragalactic cata…
Growing White Dwarfs to the Chandrasekhar Limit: The Parameter Space of the Single Degenerate SNIa Channel
Yael Hillman, Dina Prialnik, Attay Kovetz +1
Can a white dwarf, accreting hydrogen-rich matter from a non-degenerate companion star, ever exceed the Chandrasekhar mass and explode as a type Ia supernova? We explore the range…
